Tommy Conway 2-0

I know it was only against Paulton last night, but he looked very good.

Enjoyed watching City again. Hopefully no injuries most important thing.

Impressed with Wilson and Tanner. Already pushing each other on 

[Mr Popodopolous]

An actual penalty?? Wow!

Just checking in on the live feed, see Tanner got the goal- competition between him and Wilson will hopefully drive the performance of the other. Clip posted by Nick- Good to see Conway on the scoresheet and a decent set up by Pring.

All over. 
Both wing back positions are going to have healthy competition for which is a very good place to be. 
Some good patches at time, would like to see more attacking threats over than crosses. 
Overall decent start!

[Malago]

Good work out.  Kane Wilson, George Tanner and Cam Pring in particular impressed.

Nice to see Tanner get right in there for both goals, right at the backpost for the second goal too.

Good competition on both sides will do us well for balance this season.

I understood season ticket holders would get codes. Has anyone had them? If so how were they received?

None received by me or my family yet.

 

Nope I never got one either. 

[REDOXO]

Well enjoyed that! We looked very fluid before and after the changes. I’m getting a good feeling already. Wilson was eye catching among some very good performances. 
 

Many thanks to @Frenchay Red

Yep and with Semenyo, Kalas and Scott not playing the depth of the squad is certainly stronger and hungrier too!

[Mr Popodopolous]

Just watched 1st goal back, nicely worked.

[HappyClapper]

Enjoyed that. Many thanks to @Red Army 75

If that’s the first indication of how proper competition for places will spur players on I’m quite excited about our prospects.

Wilson and Tanner, DaSilva and Pring and also Williams, James, King, Massengo all looking pretty sharp. Academy boys all looking good. Seems to be a cohesiveness about the squad which I haven’t seen for a while. 
Very encouraging, especially given what we’ve seen over the last few seasons.

City second (Conway): https://streamja.com/G2mde

Legend !! You I mean not Conway, thanks for putting these clips up, big part of the matchday thread

[Swede]

Overall a good work out.

First hour Wells looked sharp. Good combination between Williams & James. Naismith looks a steal and Sykes did well but Kane Wilson really stood out.

Last 30 minutes nice touches from King, HNM and Idehen. Good finish by Conway for the second. Cam Pring looked really sharp and was only bettered by George Tanner who was outstanding.

Overall, the wing backs and in particular the right side, really stood out. So the right side, which has been a problem over the last few seasons looks far better balanced. First impression is Kal Naismith improves the defence.

That comes when Semenyo and Weimann are playing - we have no-one else capable of duplicating their movement. 

Scott can also provide something different. If he can get in the side.

I’ve been away and have got home too late to watch today’s match.

On Monday I rang the ticket office to ask how one was able to watch as a season card holder. I was told that the system would recognise my email address.

presumably codes were allocated for non season card holders who paid the relevant fee. Is that correct?

Has Nige commented on when we expect Kalas and Semenyo to be fully fit ? Kalas was at the pre season camp wasn't he?

Far from fit, jogging.

If I was a Cheltenham town supporter and saw that I would be quite confident about the upcoming season, thought they looked quite a tidy side.

Pring will have a good season. 

I hope so.  I really like Pring, but still rather mystified as to what happened to him in the final quarter of last season.

I thought at the time NP was holding him back to make him hungrier for this season. May have worked - hopefully

I had assumed pring was on the vyner/ moore bus last season? I suspect he wont be getting much game time unless dasilva is out or sold

[Jerseybean]

Certainly good to hear there were no injuries….

Obviously pre season games are for Nige and his coaches to assess levels of fitness and how the players gel together along with game time for pretty much the entire squad.

What these pre season matches do is tell us fans nothing at all and why I have very little interest in them. In fact in over 50 seasons I’ve never ever watched one…………

Why go to that extreme? Add to that you've never even seen one to form that opinion.

[old_eastender]

Is Kallas injured?

Just wondering why Vyner was given 30 mins and not Kallas, unless that is a sign the club want Kallas to go?
